a Confederate Monument.

The new management of the Augusta
Memorial Association is taking steps to
consummate long deferred plan for the
erection Of q suitable monument to the
Confederate dead buried in Thornrose
Cemetery. Former efforts have secured
about $1,000 for that purpose, but as the
cost will aggregate at least s., 500, the pur-
pose now is to raise the necessary 81, 500 to
make up that sum as speedily as possible.
Capt. j. G. Pratt, the newly elected Pres,
ident of the Association, has entered upon
this sacred work with his accustomed en-
ergy. and will push it to completion at the
earliest practicable time. OF course, IA
mihar as he is, with the influence Of the
ladies in enterprises Of this kind, and that
a cause that appeals to the love and admi-
ration OF all the people, could not fail toen-
list their earnest endeavors, he has appeal
ed to them to give their smiles aud labor
to the consummation of the object. A coun-
ty and city committee has been chosen,
and their plans are being mapped out, with
view TO q prompt response to the appeal
that will be made by them. We trust
there will be Iaudable cooperation with
the committee upon the part Of all of our
citizens, and that through the agencies
enlisted in the work the necessary funds
for the erection Of a suitable monument
will be procured. Some Of the soldier
dead Of other States. lie side by side in the
Confederate plot with the brave sons of
Augusta, who gave up their lives to attest
their convictions, and proper efforts will
b. put forth to engage the attention of
their friends to assist in the plan now SO
auspicously inaugurated. There ought
to he no difficulty IN securing not only the
amount asked for, but q surplus fund to
hold for keeping the grounds in proper
condition, and to make them an attrac-
ton to all who wish to visit the enclosure
which contains so much Of departed hero
ism and unselfsh devotion to their ma
tive South. Let the ladies move in earnest,
and there can be no failure to their efforts.

A NEW ENTERPRIsE.-AtN O. q n Orth
Augusta street, Mr.. Jno. p. Schlocker,
late Of Albany, N. Y. has opened an es-
ltablishment for the manufacture of sau-
sage. The front of the large store room
is fitted up as sales department, and is
filled with sausage of every conceivable
style, shape and quality-pork, bologna
Vienna, garlic sausage-liver, blood and
tongue pudding, saloma, and various other
grades and qualities of cut meats. Every
thing is as neat as new pin, and every
pound OF goods sold is as appetizing as an
early morning cocktail. In the centre of
the room is now being constructed NAM
moth refrigerator of the most improved
pattern, and with ample capacity to meet
the demands of q large trade. The rear
department is the mandatory proper, and
IS supplied with engine, boiler, steam cut
tiers. grinders, and every appliance used in
making sausage. In the yard are furnaces
for rendering lard, and other coaveniences
necessary to the successful and complete
operation of the business. An expert san
sage maker presides over this department,
and here, as in all other parts of the estab-
llshment, absolute order, system and
cleanliness prevail.
Mr.. Schlocker has come among us to
stay, and he expects to build up large
trade, not only in Staunton, but in the
country tributary thereto. So far he has
met with excellent encouragement. Every
purchaser becomes a permanent customer,
for each article sold over his counter is the
very best of it's kind. The enterprise de-
serves success, and we doubt not will soon
be one of the permanent. and prominent
instit utions of our town.

The farmers Of our vicinity have beer
busy for some time preparing to COM
mence their spring blowing.
The people Of Slate Hill for the past 2;
years have labored under great disadvan
tages for want Of a good road to convey
their produce to market. The circum-
stances and situation of these people are
very dscouraging. This section is favored
with fine agricultural lands and should
have the facilities of good roads in order
to transport their produce to market, not
the miserable one we have, over which it
is dangerous to travel Oh horseback for
fear of getting broken limb.
The hog cholera has commenced its
deadly work again. Mr.. W. Rolman has
lost five of his fine stock hogs in the past
week and quite number more are strick-
en- down with it, This terrible disease
has been pest to the farmers in this sec
ito for the past year.
Mr.. J. Hottinger is pushing forward the
work on his new house and will begin to
lay the foundation as soon as the work.
men are able to get there. He expects to
have it ready for occupancy early in the

A Denver dispatch says: Nathan
Falk, travelling salesman, was this
morning arraigned before Justice
Sales, charged with the larceny of
three thousand cigars, and held in o
bond Of $1,000 to apper before the
grand jury. After the decision was
pronounced the prisoner, in company
with Constable Levy, started for the
Chamber of Commerce Library, for
the purpose of procuring security.
The pair assembled the stairway to the
third story, when Falk turned around
suddenly and said, good bye, Levy"
and threw himself over the balustrade
and fell to the pavement floor, 20 feet
below. In his terrible fight he
struck the balustrade's lower landing,
from which he was thrown head first
upon the stair post basement. The
scalp was completely torn from the
left side of his head, and the skull
was fractured, from which portion
OF the brain protruded. Besides this
no bones were broken, but he was in
lured internally and cannot recover.
